Santa Barbara Scientist Bruce DePalma received a letter early
last month from Paramahamsa Tewari, a Bombay-based physicist
who sits on the Nuclear Power Board of the Indian Department
of Atomic Energy. Tewari is also, according to DePalma, a holy
man, a disciple [devotee] of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, as well as the
author of works on electron structure with space dynamics and
the builder of electrical systems for India's plutonium plant.
Tewari wrote, "Recent experiments performed for generation
of electric power through a machine (the N-Machine) operating
on new basic principles have shown that an output power greater
than input can be generated." The machine apparently produced
more energy than it consumed and these new principles Tewari
described appear to be in direct violation of the laws of physics.

In 1978, Montecito-based, MIT-educated DePalma invented the
N-Machine, a device he claims will revolutionize the planet by
providing free energy -- eventually to light homes at night and
electrically power automobile engines. Initially though, "My
energy machine," he says, "is going to be more likely used to
run a hotel or a hospital -- big buildings: apartment complexes
-- because it's too expensive. At this moment we're talking
something like $30-50,000, but that's the cost of this kind of
energy." The big machines, DePalma says, will be built by the
end of the year. At that time, he plans to demonstrate one in
this country. For DePalma, a man who accepts comparisons
with Michael Faraday, Nicola Tesla, and Albert Einstein, the
letter from India was worth waiting for. "This is my latest
affirmation," says DePalma.

Free Energy: DePalma describes how his N-Machine works.

It's simply the discovery that you can take electricity directly
out of a rotating magnet. You have a magnet like a cylinder
of some sort, one end of which is north and the other end is
south, and you rotate it around an axis going through it from
the north pole to the south pole. And you can take electricity
directly out of the magnet itself by two contacts -- one on the
outer edge of the magnet and the other in the center of either
one of the pole bases." And, says DePalma, "we won't be
producing any smog or smoke any more. The cost of everything
will go down. It's going to change the idea of what the government
does -- taxation, the worth of money."

DePalma's "perpetual motion" machine must defy fundamental
laws of thermodynamics to perform all the miracles its inventor
claims. To date, however, this revolutionary discovery remains
unpatented precisely because the US Patent Office requires
new inventions to conform to basically accepted laws of physics.
Goleta inventor Gene Mollinet made similar claims in recent
years (see "Gene's Machine," by Russ Spencer, The Weekly,
December 27, 1984). DePalma says, "The thing about Gene
is he just shows you a box. He doesn't show you what's inside."
DePalma's machine is encased in plexiglass providing a clear
view of the rotating magnet.

Independent Confirmation: The Tewari letter provided
DePalma with independent confirmation of his research.
Tewari's theory, developed in 1977, predicted energy
could be extracted directly from space. Before him,
Tesla demonstrated energy can be tapped from the
Earth's electromagnetic field and broadcast as "free energy"
without wires. DePalma tells The Weekly, "Tesla realized
that there was energy in space, and he gave a famous lecture
about the energy in space -- that it was not static, it was
dynamic, and someday we would hook our real work
[wheelwork] to the same forces that motivated the
stars and planets." After experimenting with a machine
similar to DePalma's, the Indian scientist wrote that
DePalma had "proved his theory of space because of
the experiments with my generator."

Tewari concludes, "The generation of electric charge
by high speed rotation of absolute vacuum, in a magnetic
conducting cylinder and sustaining the charge without
any appreciable loss, provides a viable means of
power production from the limitless source of
space substratum."

Proponents of DePalma's machine, like fellow Santa Barbara
scientist David Williams, believe the US government, to
protect the energy industry, has suppressed widespread
application of N-technologies. According to Williams,
"The same ethic of materialism that stopped Tesla's
'free energy' technologies in the early years of the
20th century, is today visibly responsible for wars,
hunger, poverty, homelessness, pollution, and the
prostitution of the American scientific community
resulting in the completely insane endangerment of
our planet threatened with the potential of complete
destruction of all life by nuclear holocaust."

Hype & Hoax: But physicist Dr. Daniel Hone, formerly
chairman of the Department of Physics at UCSB, feels
the reason is far less conspiratorial and far more fundamental.
Hone believes the hype around the N-Machine is a hoax.
He says DePalma's concept is nothing new. "It uses something
called the Faraday effect," Hone says, "it has to do with
the production of electrostatic potentials and ultimately
of electric current -- which is, of course, a usable source
of electricity -- by moving and electric conductor through
a magnetic field. It's a well-known phenomenon."

Although the principle may work on a small scale, says Hone,
"It violates some very fundamental laws of physics. But
more specifically, the argument [DePalma presents] is
that by modifying a technique that is commonly used,
they could vastly improve the efficiency of that technique
in producing energy. And, at the least, [as DePalma presents it],
the argument is simply wrong."

Hone doesn't completely condemn DePalma's claims for his
machine as improbable, but he is skeptical. "If it did what
he claims it can do," says Hone, "he'd have been in production
five years ago and he'd have made his fortune by now. His
claim that if he could only get the money to build it five
times bigger -- then it would overcome these little problems
it has, then it would really work and we'd see energy coming
out at no cost. These sorts of claims are the ones that are
conventionally made by people -- often sincere -- who in
the end don't understand what the fundamental limitations
of their ideas are. Some times those limitations are pretty subtle."

DePalma says it has taken him so long because he's been
seeking "the kind of financing that would not consume
me with greed." He says he's succeeded and has formed
a company called the DePalma Energy Corporation -- which
is, at the moment, building practical N-Machines. "It's on the way,"
says DePalma of the New Age of energy production. "The present
dogma says that energy is neither created nor destroyed -- it's
just transformed from one state to another. That's the old world.
The new world of DePalma says, "'Energy is created and destroyed,
and is not transformed from one form into another.' And you have
to understand that something strong and powerful like this has
to come in sort of synchronistically. It's not an isolated event at all.
The guy in India developed a theory which explains my experiment.
In Europe there's another guy doing the same thing."

"This free energy thing is a happening thing. It's not just happening
here in Santa Barbara, or in some little town somewhere else.
It's going on. And the way our lives are going to be changed
is just fantastic."

Here is food for thought for real physics folks to address
the physics involved here, eg, Dr. Hone's "misunderstanding,"
and why Dr. Wheeler's hushed involvement in all this behind
the scenes. Instead of decrying all this as untrue, how about
addressing the physics fundamentals for public understanding,
instead of just the customary Sarfatti PsyOps response of
intimidation to divert attention from the truth?
http://www.stardrive.org

How long has the fruition of these new energy techs been
delayed by Sarfatti's thick-headedness since I started bringing
this to his attention in 1999? We may not have gone to war
with Iraq most recently if there had been cooperation and
genuine collegial discourse on all this instead of ego-tripping
and belligerency and denial of facts deemed "outside of areas
of interest" -- wouldn't you say so?

End of ISEP intro posting this:

Regarding the Free Energy (New Energy) Technologies to
replace nuclear power and fossil fuel power: Bruce DePalma
and Paramahamsa Tewari, some history addressing the question:

"If this is real, how come it's not happening"?

Because of lack of public scientific confidence and "physics experts"
with other agendas threatened by new knowledge, and "dual-use"
military-civilian US secrecy restrictions fearing weapons using
this knowledge -- why we need global peace now to redirect
human and financial resources towards solving our critical
global climate crisis by moving away from fossil fuel power
and the wars being fought to access petroleum resources:

Here are some ideas on how we can do that, by bringing out
the truth of the matter of the so-called free energy technologies:

in Santa Barbara and Paramahamsa Tewari in India, in the 1980's,
followed by links for more information on their work and more.

India Today:

"...it would have been difficult for [Tewari] to go
on with work on the SVT and the generator were it not for
encouragement from two U.S. physicists, Dr. John A. Wheeler
of the University of Texas, Austin, and Bruce DePalma,
formerly a lecturer in physics at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. "But for DePalma, I wouldn't have been able
to tie up my theory," says Tewari. "He was working on similar
ideas and kept sending his results to me."

By reviewing the below articles you can see that support
for this project is thwarted by so-called experts in physics
who are quoted stupidly in public news articles discrediting
something they have not studied and are afraid of because
it seems to violate their "known laws of physics". To those
versed a bit in physics or electromagnetism it is clear that
Dr. Hone's scientific response below is totally bogus because
he is talking about the "induction effect" that he calls below
the "Faraday effect" whereby a wire moving through a magnetic
field has an electrical current induced in it by that motion, or
so the "theory" behind that particular "law of physics" says.

This is this principle, electromagnetic induction, responsible
for all the electricity generation by generators commonly
used for a hundred years around the world and the same
principle responsible for the operation, in reverse, of all
commonly used electric motors, a coil of wire on an armature
rotating inside an array of magnets producing a current in the
wire to generate electricity and conversely by putting electricity
into the coil it spins within those magnets as a motor. That
Dr. Hone below acknowledges this and still says that this principle
is not valid or scalable up to larger machines for more power is
simply factually wrong. That he equates this principle of induction
to the operation of the n-Machine which is based on a deeper
understanding of a different effect found by Michael Faraday in 1831
that he called the homopolar or unipolar effect, and its corresponding
unipolar or homopolar generator and motor effects, is also factually
incorrect, since this latter effect has no wire/conductor moving relative
to a magnet to "induce" current in the wire, but rather is a spinning
disc magnet with attached metal conductor rotating together
with no relative motion between the magnet and that conducting
disc from which electricity is extracted flowing from the center
to the edge of that rotating magnet/disc assembly. Faraday also
discovered that if the disc is rotated with the magnet stopped,
there is a current flowing in the disc, this seemingly like induction.
But if the magnet is rotated and the disc is stopped there is no
current flowing in the disc, which violates the principle of induction
and led Faraday to conclude that the magnetic lines of force of
a magnet are not a property of the magnet but induced in the
space the magnet occupies by its magnetic field, ie, because this
non-reciprocal effect indicate the magnetic lines of force do not
move with the magnet rotating. This accounts for some of the
confusion about this particular electromagnetic effect, which
Faraday called the homopolar effect and DePalma discovered
and proved independently 147 years later calling it the n-Effect
but with the additional insight of "tapping the free energy field
of space itself" with this rotating magnetic assembly duplicated
by Tewari of India, Shiuji Inomata of Japan, and by Adam Trombly,
of Colorado's Aspen Institute for Advanced Studies started by
him and Project Earth by him and Buckminster Fuller, in the 1980's!

http://www.projectearth.com

http://www.tewari.org

This homopolar effect was not known in the scientific community
or taught in any of the schools before 1980 and the 1979 DePalma
n-Machine tests quantitatively proved not only that this works
but also, unique to DePalma and not conceived by Faraday, that
rotation produces more current than it takes to operate a motor
to spin the assembly, DePalma's earlier experiments on gravitation
and rotation and inertia anomalies indicating to him that this
"homopolar" effect he learned about only in 1981 was due to the
rotating assembly "extracting electricity from the energy field
that exists in space itself, the space in which matter resides".

This idea that there is an enormous energy field in "space" or
what now physicists since the 80's and 90's have been calling
the "quantum vacuum flux" or "zero point energy" with various
attempts to theoretically understand and mathematically describe
these ideas, are what DePalma's experiments, including the last one,
the n-Machine, prove exists as what he called the "free energy of
space" and what Tewari below says his Space Vortex Theory
explains as proven by the performance of his overall overunity
Space Power Generator version of DePalma's n-Machine.

Those first tests in Summer of 1979 of that n-Machine made by
the Sunburst Community, which they called the S-Machine, did not
show "overall overunity" performance (more total output power
than the power to drive the generator with a motor) like Tewari's
later models in India have shown, but the 1979 tests, reproduced
in 1986 by Dr. Kincheloe of Stanford independently, showed an
equally unexplainable by conventional "laws of physics" incremental
overunity effect where at a given generator speed an increase of
drive motor current produced from five to twenty times that
amount in output current increase, but due to engineering that
machine has not shown, yet, at its rotation speed design limits,
to produce "overall overunity" performance. This is the context
to know in reading the below to understand how significant a
blow to this movement was this mistaken and negative report
in the newspaper by a "physics expert". After this article came
out I went and personally spoke with Dr. Hone, also there was
another about this timeframe from the UCSB newspaper, and
he just said he was misquoted, but he did not make any effort
to correct his slander that this was a hoax. In normal circles
DePalma would have won a big lawsuit against Hone and UCSB
for libel, but in this arena of forefront science this has been
the way it has gone because the public in general is not at all
confident or competent in its understanding of fundamentals
of science such as this and feel compelled to rely on the view
of "the experts" who as below are often just plan wrong by
intent or ignorance, claim they are misquoted, but take no
responsibility for getting the real truth out there once they
figure out they made a mistake, if it was a mistake and not
by intent to discredit this, some of the most important work
in science in the 20th Century, the DePalma experiments.
The Sunburst Community founder Norman Paulsen still has
that 1979 test machine in Santa Barbara area under auspices
of Solar Logos Foundation, Sunburst Church of Self-Realization.

For an earlier article about the initial experiments by
Bruce DePalma and Ed Delvers showing gravitational
and inertial effects of rotating objects "violating the
laws of physics" to the chagrin of folks like Dr. Wheeler
mentioned above, the "20th Century Galileo Experiments"
here read how they "Discovered the Rotation Force Field,"
"You have to watch the spinning balls; Princeton doesn't
believe in Bruce DePalma; But then, of course, Bruce
doesn't believe in Einstein," The Sunday Times Advertiser,

Energy From Space

An engineer's invention excites interest

by M. Rahman

(December 1987)

[2 photos, not shown here, captioned:]

Paramahamsa Tewari (top) and the generator: futuristic fantasy

In a tiny room in a Bombay suburb, an electrical engineer works
on a machine that seems to have been conceived in a Sci-Fi book
-- a generator which can ostensibly produce electricity from nothing.
But the machine's creator, Paramahamsa Tewari, 51, is not an eccentric
inventor from one of Sukumar Ray's fantastic tales. He is a senior
engineer with the Department of Atomic Energy's Nuclear Power
Corporation (NPC).

Tewari created a minor sensation 10 years ago when he propounded
the theory that space is filled with a dynamic medium whose swirling
motion is the source of all matter and energy. He called it the Space
Vortex Theory (SVT) which postulated that at the heart of the electron
was a void whose high speed rotation within a vacuum could produce
energy from space.

Interestingly, it was the Theosophical Society which had first published
Tewari's theory by arranging a special lecture in 1977 at Adyar in Madras.
The theosophists were excited by Tewari's ideas since they were remarkably
close to observations about the electron put forward by Annie Bessant's
associate, the clairvoyant Charles W. Leadbeater, in the book Occult Chemistry.

However, the first indication that Tewari's ideas about the structure of
space were more than just a mystic vision came earlier this year at a
conference in Hanover organized by the German Association of Gravity
Field Energy. The Space Power Generator (SPG) invented by Tewari won
the first prize of Rs 25,000 from among 25 similar machines presented
at the conference by scientists from all over.

Tewari's generator is actually a simple machine, consisting basically
of a magnetised cylinder rotating at high speed with the help of a motor.
Power from this device is extracted by connecting a wire between the
surface of the cylinder and its axis. According to the engineer-inventor,
the SPG produces two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half times more power
than it consumes, defying the basic physical law of conservation of
energy which says that the output of energy cannot be more than
the input. Tewari says the excess power comes from the inter-atomic
space of the rotating cylinder -- it is the movement of the "voids"
in the spinning cylinder which creates additional energy out of the
space between the machine's axis and the magnet.

Tewari readily admits that his theory sounds incredible taking
into account the existing laws and that he would never have
developed it had he been trained as a physicist and not an
engineer, since it is so divergent from conventional physics.
But, he says, it would have been difficult for him to go on
with work on the SVT and the generator were it not for
encouragement from two U.S. physicists, Dr. John A. Wheeler
of the University of Texas, Austin, and Bruce DePalma,
formerly a lecturer in physics at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. "But for DePalma, I wouldn't have been able
to tie up my theory," says Tewari. "He was working on similar
ideas and kept sending his results to me."

Though Tewari, who is slated for transfer to the NPC's
Kaiga Project in Karnataka as chief project engineer,
has pursued his interest in physics in his spare time,
he has received infrastructural support from the NPC
for putting together his extraordinary new machine.
The SPG was built under Tewari's supervision at the
Tarapur Atomic Plant. "Tewari's prototype SPC can be
considered a major breakthrough," says S.L. Kati,
managing director of NPC.

Before leaving for Hanover, Tewari addressed a meeting of
scientists and engineers at the Bhaba Atomic Research Centre
on his theory. But most physicists remained skeptical about
his findings. Undaunted, he is experimenting with a new
model of the SPG since his return, which he feels will be
an improvement. He eventually hopes to create a prototype
for a generator which could deliver 50 kw to 100 kw of electricity.
"The encouragement I received abroad has been a great help,
and hopefully within a year, I will be able to build an
experimental model which could ultimately prove
commercially viable," he says.

Tewari, of course, is not the only engineer hoping to build
the ultimate power generation machine -- one which will
run perpetually since it will extract energy from space
-- as the Hanover conference demonstrated. In fact,
DePalma, the first inventor to create such a machine,
is presently conducting experiments in California in
anticipation of a breakthrough which could lead to
commercial production. Their work promises to create
ultimately a machine which appears to come straight
out of a futuristic fantasy.
